so here it goes

tuesday is my official start to the week of household nonsense. you know it is going to be crazy when i am already cracking open a bottle of wine at 9 am. heehee. seriously. i am making short ribs in the slow cooker and i needed red wine for the deglazing.

this is my list.

• short ribs in the slow cooker
• check and return emails
• make beds
• put laundry away
• unload the dishwasher
  
• clean fridge
• make grocery list
• grocery shop
• bag up clothes for purple heart
  
• clean basement

cleaning the basement also looks like this- sweep laundry room, change cat litter, pick up jason's beer bottles which are scattered every where, sort toys for purple heart, clean off the desk, sort books in the book case, move bookcase to the studio, sort magazines and board games, vaccuum.

now all of these things don't demonstrate the fact that i will be interrupted by a two year old every five to seven minutes, or that the phone will ring just when i am getting ready to vaccuum or leave for the grocery store. there is also a two hour period when aforementioned two year old takes a nap and that means i cannot do anything that makes noise.

i have decided to attempt to become more organized, which isn't easy when you are as much of a clutterer as i am. plus, isabel is as bad as i am and i really need to nip that in the bud.

my week off and my weekend sucked. i love spending saturday night and sunday morning muttering expletives at my spouse. i also am so proud that when sylvie asked why i was so upset sunday morning my mature response was, "because your father is a selfish asshole who only does the things that he wants to do." nice.

my mom had a party saturday night that i didn't really want to go to, but my brother's fiancee was going to be there alone and frankly, the idea of getting out of the house and having adult conversation, albeit with sycophants from shrine, was somewhat appealing. unfortunately, jason and isabel ganged up on me and we ended up not going. instead, we had dinner and jason fell asleep on the couch while i got overtired kids to bed. i am so sick of being bored to tears.

not that i have any shortage of things i could be doing. i just need a break from household and kid related stuff. i want to go out for an hour, have a glass of wine, a cup of coffee, wander around borders or the mall, get my hair cut....things like that.

i am slowly being driven to the point of walking out the door and not coming back for at least 24 hours. i guess not that slowly.

sylvie was up until 2 am monday morning with nightmares of spiders and green bears at the windows.

i want to download all of this season of "how i met your mother" from itunes, but jason doesn't want to watch it on the laptop.

i think i may find guitar lessons or piano lessons for isabel.

i am going to start speaking french again. i so impressed myself and jason when we were surfing french craigslist and i could read pretty much every ad.

crap, i need to find 40 minutes to work out. that may be my naptime activity.

i am looking forward to march 21st, 26th, and 28th.

i think sylvie's stomach is really a bottomless pit.

i want to buy twister. we watch it every time it is on and i really love that movie, it is so ridiculous. vicky cristina barcelona is coming from netflix today. yay.

ok, enough wasting time. i have a list to complete.
